Answer:
(x² - 9)(x² - 2) = 0
x = 3 or √2
Step-by-step explanation:
To factor a polynomial, you need to find two expression that when multiplied together using FOIL (first, outside, inside, last) will produce the polynomial. In this case the polynomial can be factored into:
(x² - 9)(x² - 2) = 0
Setting each of these expressions equal to '0':
x² - 9 = 0 or x² = 9 so √x² = √9 or x = 3
x² - 2 = 0 or x² = 2 so √x² = √2 or x = √2
